Special feature of 1905 film network In the long history of China, 1927 was destined to be an extraordinary year.
On April 12th, 1927, the Kuomintang New Rightists headed by Chiang Kai-shek launched an armed coup against the Kuomintang leftists and communist party, and massacred Communist party member, the Kuomintang leftists and the revolutionary masses. This is the famous "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup in history.
It is here that the story of "Building the Army" begins. This film allows the audience to re-understand this period of history and once again feel that period of generous and tragic blood years.
In 1927, when the Northern Expedition just achieved great results, the "Rightists" of the Kuomintang launched a crazy "clearing the Communist Party" to seize power and rebel against the revolution. In just a few months, nearly 310,000 progressive compatriots were brutally killed.
The film begins with a demonstration of workers. Faced with a large number of parades without weapons and guns, the army chose to shoot and strafe, and a large number of innocent people fell to the ground, with cries and whines echoing through the sky and corpses everywhere. China, which has just seen hope, is about to fall into the abyss of warlord melee and dictatorship again.
Obviously, the crazy attack of the Kuomintang "Rightists" on the Communist Party of China (CPC) is fatal, and the Communist Party of China (CPC) is facing a devastating blow because it does not have its own armed forces.
In order to block the news and cover up the evil deeds, the "Rightists" of the Kuomintang even spared the workers of the publishing house, burned all the newspapers to be published, and killed a large number of progressives at the same time. The cruelty of the means was unimaginable.
Comrade Li Dazhao was hanged by reactionary warlords.
The enemy at present, however, Chen Duxiu said:
"Confrontation, adverse, letting the enemy kill,no.. There is only one, hand over the gun first. "
"Wang Jingwei, the Wuhan government, sympathizes with communist party and the revolution. If the workers and peasants in all parts of our country hand over all their weapons, Chiang Kai-shek will have no excuse and Wang Jingwei will spare no effort to help."
Mao Zedong holds the opposite opinion, and the lesson of blood tells him that "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun" is the last word. And said that we should arm farmers and solve the land problem. In China, farmers are the main force of our revolution.
Mao Zedong’s opinion was obviously not adopted by Chen Duxiu. However, Zhou Enlai and other progressives in the Party decided that at this time of life and death, they must be ordered to launch an uprising and build an army that truly belongs to the people.
On August 1st of the same year, the Communist Party of China joined forces with the left wing of the Kuomintang and fired the first shot of armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries, which opened the prelude to the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s independent leadership of the armed struggle and the creation of the revolutionary army, referred to as the "Nanchang Uprising".
At the same time, Mao Zedong led the revolutionary army of workers and peasants in eastern Hunan and western Jiangxi to hold an armed struggle, namely "Autumn Harvest Uprising". A single spark sets a prairie ablaze.
The whole film revolves around "building the army", so that the audience can enjoy the shock of the war scene and get a baptism in their hearts. When the charge horn sounded, even though there were machine guns and cannons ahead, these heroes did not stop charging. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. It is precisely because of their heroic sacrifice that the people of China are now happy and well-being.
The rebel army marched south, and Zhu De led thousands of soldiers to cover the main force in Sanheba. He faced Qian Dajun, who had tens of thousands of troops. This disparity in strength also became a very shocking fragment in the film.
In order to let more people get out alive, Zhu De decided to leave 200 people behind and desperately block Qian Dajun. If the father and son are in the same army at home, the son will leave the team, and if the brothers are in the same army, the elder brother will stay.
Perhaps we were born in a peaceful life, and it is hard for us to understand this sense of turmoil and uneasiness in wartime. But shouldn’t our awe of our motherland always be in our hearts?
As the film said: "These souls who have been baptized by war will be integrated with the destiny of the people, which is extremely glorious." Similarly, we have never forgotten that hope and glory belongs to you.
May the peace and beauty of this world live up to your expectations.
